How do I stop a typing line from appearing in abnormal areas of a webpage?
Wherever I click on a webpage a "typing line" (the blinking line that appears right after every letter you type) appears, and it causes huge issues for scrolling with arrow keys (I'm on a mouseless laptop so this is especially debilitating), and I do not know how I caused this to happen. If there is any way to stop this, I would greatly appreciate it if someone could tell me! Thanks!

You may have switched on caret browsing.
You can press press F7 (on Mac: fn + F7) to toggle caret browsing on/off.
